Little Miss Smarty Pants

I just got back from Julianne's SEOP today. SEOP = Student Education/Occupation Plan. I had to look it up because I realized that I didn't actually know what SEOP even stood for. In my mind SEOP translates into Meet-With-Counselor-To-Register-For-Classes. But I suppose that would actually be MWCTRFC which would be much too overwhelming. So SEOP it is.

Beyond picking classes for next year...graduation requirements, scholarship requirements, thoughts about future colleges and careers all played into this SEOP. But also, Julianne's counselor used this opportunity to orient Julianne to her transcript. She explained cumulative GPA's and where she could find it. "Look...it's right at the top in bold, even bigger than your name. That's how important it is." She showed Julianne her list of classes, the grades she had received in each and how many credits each class would be worth. And then she showed Julianne her class ranking. Would you believe that Julianne is ranked #1 of 333 8th graders at her jr. high school? I think I said something very sophisticated and elegant like, "Holy crap! Seriously??" Julianne may have been embarrassed when I insisted on a high five....

The "holy crap" and high five part made me laugh out loud! I honestly believe that it is my right as a mom to embarrass my offspring at my own discretion. I did suffer great pains to get them here, after all. But seriously, aren't you proud?! What a great kid!

So I went to look up my girls after we talked yesterday. Tiff's is the same thing 1 out of 307. So either the dude fed you some misinformation or we have some seriously smart kid's (and i'm going with that one)!

The title of this blog, "The Best Stuff," is taken from a talk by Elder Dallin H. Oaks in October 2007 entitled "Good, Better, Best." It was my hope as I chronicled our family's daiy life, that we would eventually look back and find that our lives were filled with mostly the "best" stuff.
